Every time I walk by this pretty and curvy bench it makes me smile.
BEFORE AFTER
This project was made with 2 headboards and 1 foot board.
You can see the back and sides are made from a matching
foot and head board but the front underside also has parts of
a French provincial headboard. All three frames used to build
this bench are made of solid maple, which is a wonderful
hard wood and offers great stability in furniture making.
****************************************
The seat is vintage pine boards salvaged from some local
farm shelving. Pine is a soft wood. Softwoods come from
coniferous trees such as cedar, fir, and pine.
The last bench I built I fell in love with too and it went into our mudroom. We had never had a place to sit down in there until now, but now I'm constantly sitting in there.
